Spring is here and it's time to get into the garden! Time to start planting and tiding up your garden beds, we recommend doing a good clean up of your outdoor living spaces and make sure that you’re not harbouring pests. Wasps, ants and termites will all start to thrive now the days and nights are getting warmer. Outside ants are the foraging types, so block off any holes in your walls where they might get inside, try to keep water sources to a minimum, and clean up any crumbs left behind after a lazy lunch. Check eaves and outdoor structures for signs of wasp nests and make sure your fly screens are intact. Garden debris can also attract pests, we recommend getting any tree stumps removed as termites and ants thrive in tree stumps. We recommend Stump Grinding Gold Coast; they service Tweed Coast and all the way down the coast  to Byron Bay.

​Five Simple Ideas to Renovate Your Kitchen on a Budget

The average whole kitchen renovation can cost up to $20,000 at the low end, with the sky being the limit depending on how extravagant you want to get with materials and designs.
For most people, a costly kitchen renovation is out of reach and unnecessary. Thankfully, you can focus your budget on the most important features and get a much better return.
1) Transform Your Kitchen with a Fresh Coat of Paint
Never underestimate paint’s ability to transform a room. If your cabinets are in good shape and you like their design, you could simply repaint them. Pastel colors are popular in modern kitchens, but you essentially have free reign to explore your creativity.
Paint can even be used to refresh your countertops. Faux marble paint kits will give your old counters a high-end look with a durable protective seal. This could be a great stand over until you’re ready to invest in new materials.
2) Flooring is a Must
If your kitchen floor is worn, it’s the first element that needs to go. You can get replacement flooring on a tight budget, with vinyl planks being a good option. Vinyl is impervious to moisture and will stand up to daily use. If you can stretch your budget, engineered wood is a good compromise between affordability and luxury.
3) Get Big Value from Small Details
Make small improvements to maximize your budget. New cabinet and drawer hardware can offer a premium look and feel. Because hardware is relatively affordable, you will be able to get beautiful solid-metal pieces that will last for years to come.
4) Upgrade Your Light Fixtures
Affordable light fixtures will make a big difference in your kitchen. You could even splurge a little for a single designer piece in the center of the room, while complementing it with some budget-friendly options.
You could even add under-cabinet LED lighting that is practical for food prep and perfect for ambience in the evenings.
5) Consider Refacing Your Cabinets
Refacing your cabinets will save you hundreds if not thousands on a kitchen renovation. New cabinet drawers and drawer fronts will make your kitchen look and feel new again.
 
You don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy a beautiful modern kitchen. Best of all, the affordable refurbishments above can be completed with the help of a handyman, so you don’t need to spend on a full contractor service.
Focus on value driven improvements and you can enjoy a new kitchen on a budget!
